Together with a Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) spacewalker, she installed a modification kit on the ISS starboard truss structure. Mann is an astronaut selected as a member of the Artemis Team, which aims to return humans to the moon by 2024. Before joining NASA's astronaut corps in 2013, Mann served as a Marine Corps officer and a test pilot.
